Dear Antonio of 2035, As I sit here at my computer, I am reminded of how I got to this point. Many people gave of their time and talent encouraging me along. And now 25 years later, I want to give a little back to those special people. I am writing a biography of my life including all my failures and successes. Each success came with hard work, but worth every effort. Today I am speaking to a group interested in the world of autism. It will be the first time speaking in front of a group, and I must admit I am a little nervous. Today when I left my home, I scratched my dog’s head for luck and drove here with knots in my stomach. My parents and sister and her family will be there to support me. I want to remember to thank all of them for never giving up on me. When I finish my biography I will have completed my third book. My family is the reason that goal was reached. Now, I look forward to many more accomplishments. Love, Antonio of days gone byP.S. I reached my goal of independence!
